MetroWest Food Collaborative

Please join us in asking US Senators to keep their promises to farmers and families with the Farm Bill!

Snow can’t stop us from pushing for increased investment in Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA)!

We joined Food Policy Councils throughout the state and our Make Hunger History coalition partners to show support for the DTA caseworkers who work tirelessly to get people connected to SNAP by visiting the Framingham office with refreshments posters sharing our community’s gratitude.

Investment in the DTA is critical to connect families facing food insecurity with SNAP and handle increasing caseloads. If eligible families can’t reach the DTA, they may lose or be denied SNAP because they can’t get the help they need to navigate the paperwork.

Join us in calling on policymakers to increase funding and support for the DTA to better serve our communities.

These photos capture our participation in this year’s HIP Lobby Day at the Massachusetts State House—an inspiring day of advocacy alongside the Massachusetts Food System Collaborative and dedicated food access champions from across the Commonwealth. Together, we raised our voices in support of continued and expanded funding for the Healthy Incentives Program (HIP), a vital initiative that helps Massachusetts residents access fresh, locally grown food while supporting our farmers and local economy.

This day was a powerful reminder that meaningful change happens when communities come together with a shared purpose. Ensuring strong funding for HIP is not just about food—it’s about health, equity, and building a more resilient food system for everyone in Massachusetts.
